More #TAVR #TAVI #ViV 19 mm Mitraflow... with double coronary protection guide/guideliner/ balloon .. coronary clearance better. Mitraflow unpredictable at best... Best degenerated #mitraflow is the one surgical excised straight into the “garbage can” of history

Microcatheter and IVL: a winning combination? @Franchina_AG @MrcTsl

@santarosadoc @TCTMD Good indeed but an “ounce” of prevention is key….
A really wise IC should never forget that…😇

Failed to withdraw the device into the sheath despite multiple attempts. The 30 mm device could not be withdrawn into 14 F sheath despite manipulations. What could be the reason? Options?

[Ilie T. Barb @ibarb_]

@DrRajeshG1 Bigger sheath … cut the tip of sheath oblique. Or can try 2 sheaths one to fix tge device second to capture c a hand made strong snare made of 0.035 wire folded as a square

Today is the 47th anniversary of the 1st coronary angioplasty, performed in 1977 in Zurich by Andreas Gruentzig. Here is our story, told by the 1st patient himself, Adolph Bachman, and his doctor, Bernhard Meier. #AngioHistory

@DrJayMohan @jcgeorgemd @EricSecemskyMD @JimGMelton @JunLiMD @HadyLichaaMD @LuaySayed @drochohan @ShariqShamimMD @IRKhalsa @kmadass That amount of calcium is merciless to the stent… I suspect stent fracture… maybe can even see it in a magnified image of your attempt. Try different angles & imaging to understand better the reason. Heroic one can even pass adventitial outside the stent dilate &crush&supera

[Philipp Lurz @PhilippLurz]

at normal loading condition, shift to radial/circumferential contraction with volume and more so pressure overload

@DrRajeshG1 Remember similar case back in Romania years ago.. long subocclussive thrombus mid LAD no distal protection no aspiration devices

I did IIB IIIA systemic and intracoronary low dose lytics small aliquots
Gave it over 30 min
Rechecked
Thrombus vanished &small residual plaque

@mmamas1973 But if you drink it in Greece is Greek , in in Turkey is turkish … in Cyprus Cipriot … just to be clear … equally good and served with same great love and pride!! Enjoy

[Ilie T. Barb @ibarb_]

@mmamas1973 Greek ?? That looks deliciously turkish to me probably heated in the sand….

[Dr G Rajesh (Gopalan Nair Rajesh). @DrRajeshG1]

There is a good article in Indian Heart Journal about the subject. @latchumanadhas

@ShariqShamimMD @EM_RESUS @smithECGBlog @Vadeboncoeur_Al @mandeep_mayo @iamritu @DrMarthaGulati @purviparwani @DrRajeshG1 @evandrofilhobr @SGuptaMD Nice… One can pick them up on the too many SPECT these pts have due to abnormal ECG( large active alex) or echo c contrast( spade)

[John Mandrola, MD @drjohnm]

HCM pts treated w LAA occlusion had nearly double the rate of ischemic stroke vs those treated w anticoagulants.

Who could have predicted this?
